"This person looks a little too much."
When Li Chungang finally found a parking space near the Xinhua Bookstore that just happened to be vacated by the previous car owner to go to work, God knows how far he has to go around to park the car, and then walk back to the Xinhua Bookstore on the 11th Road When I was at the location, what caught my eyes was the noisy voice at the door of the bookstore and the line of consumers who had lined up in two rows and still lined up outside the store like a long queue.
"Brother, Tianxia Chunmi is a family."
"Yes, yes, the world gang fans are one family."
"Let me tell you brother, in order to be able to snap up the "Dragon Race" of the pure gang god as soon as possible, I skipped a class from the head teacher this morning."
"A master, a master! But I am a little worse than you. I used an excuse to tell my girlfriend to buy her breakfast, but you look at the time... I guess this breakfast can almost be bought for lunch have eaten."
"It's still brother, you will kill the wolf, but as a brother who has been here, I still advise brother."
"you say."
"If you lose your girlfriend, you can find it again, but if you missed "Dragon Race" today and didn't buy it, you have to wait for the next batch!"
"Incisive and incisive~"
"Extremely exalted~"
"..."
When the crowd just finished queuing and approached a little closer, Li Chungang heard the wonderful conversation between the two "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young". Although his face was suppressed and he had no expression on his face, in fact, he was already happy in his heart , this may be the legendary "big smart" met "big beautiful". Anyway, the other people in front of and behind the two of them all laughed, the difference is just whether they laugh a little more reservedly or unscrupulously.
"Hi sir, may I help you? If you want to buy "Dragon Race", please take a picture at the back of the team."
"I'm not here to buy dragons, don't worry."
"It's okay, sir, you can tell me if you need anything."
"Anything is fine?"
"Emmm...you can do anything about work." Apparently, the shopping guide lady has experience in this field, and she is afraid that she will encounter some strange customers who will come up and ask "how old are you",
"Do you have a boyfriend?" This kind of embarrassing question.
"I'm curious, how many copies of "Dragon Race" have you sold in total?"
The shopping guide lady pointed to the long line over there and raised exactly one palm towards Li Chungang.
"Fifty?"
"Sir, you are so humorous. There are more than fifty people queuing here alone."
"That's five hundred?"
"No, no, sir, you are still too conservative, you can safely and boldly guess further."
"This... Could it be 50,000?" Li Chungang thought about it for a while, but you told me to make a bold guess.
"It's five thousand! More than five thousand copies have been sold!"
"sharp!"
Li Chungang silently gave the shopping guide a thumbs up, then turned and left with a smile.
Little did he know that what he did was really strange in the eyes of the shopping guide lady. They came to the Xinhua Bookstore early in the morning and didn't buy anything, so they asked about the sales of "Dragon Race". The main reason is that the behavior is a bit weird and suspicious. How can a normal person enter a bookstore and wear sunglasses and a mask? If she hadn't vaguely judged from the outline of the other party that he should be a handsome pot, she would have directly reported it to the store manager. "One unit zero"!
This is also a helpless solution. Li Chungang also knows that his "dress" in broad daylight will definitely attract people's attention, but if it is not like this...
The situation may suddenly become uncontrollable.
I'm not really worried about encountering readers and fans normally, but I'm afraid of encountering some readers who make all kinds of excessive demands, or even if you're unlucky, there are readers and fans who violently urge updates.
That's really bad luck.
After all, with the creation of more and more works under his name, his fame has risen step by step. So far, if you ask domestic young people if they know some first- and second-tier stars, they may say no, but if you ask them if they know "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang", that's embarrassing, they really don't know if they want to know each other.
"The Xinhua Bookstore near the university town can sell 5,000 copies at once. If you add up all over the country... I am afraid that the number of first printings prepared by Manjinghua Publishing House is far from enough."
After leaving, Li Chungang made a quick calculation in his heart. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor, and he can be regarded as a long-term publisher and editor. The national sales situation can be roughly inferred from an individual example, although it is not necessarily true. It is very accurate and correct, but it is still sure that it is almost inseparable. The main error lies in the online sales, which is the most "moisture".
The data that he can judge, it is impossible for the marketing staff at Manjinghua Publishing House to not notice it.
—
Manjinghua Publishing Company Marketing Department.
"Minister Qi, based on the first-hour sales of local bookstores across the country compiled by our colleagues, the first printed 60 million copies will be completely sold out around six to seven o'clock in the evening!"
"Then why are you standing here stupidly? Why don't you contact the printing factory to start executing the previous order."
"yes!"
As a matter of fact, the staff in charge of market research in the marketing department have already concluded from the data that their first printed 60 million copies may not be able to survive the first day of sales, but the final result is their speculation Still too conservative.
12:20 on the day of the release of "Dragon Race".
After the students finished their morning classes, and the office workers finished their morning work, these bookstores ushered in the first book buying boom in the strict sense!
Originally, the bookstore owners thought that the people who lined up outside the store in the morning to snap up "Dragon Race" were already at their peak, but they didn't realize that these were just "appetizers" before the big meal, and the real time was during the lunch break. "Customers have five minutes to reach the battlefield".
Don’t look at the sales of online bookstores as hot and unusual, but for those sincere readers who want to get the physical book in the shortest time and read the content in the first time, there is time to wait for the online bookstore to ship, it’s better to go by yourself When they go to an offline bookstore to buy books, they can't tolerate that other readers are already reading with gusto with freshly snatched books. The goods are transferred, and the goods are shipped slowly on one side.
